Background

Pump station maintenance is an ongoing process for the Utilities Department. In order to maintain functionality, and extend the life of the mechanical equipment and the station itself, pump stations as well as other facilities need to be routinely painted and equipment coated to provide ongoing corrosion protection. The coatings at Pump Station PS5 and the Primary Sludge Pump Station at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) have outlived their useful life and are in need of recoating. Refer to the attached photos for examples of coating failures at the above referenced sites.

Project Description

The Pump Station PS5 & WWTP Primary Sludge Pump Station Maintenance Coating Project includes painting of the interiors and equipment of both pumping stations. Incorporated in this work is the coating of walls, floors, stairs, pipes, pumps, and other appurtenances; and the appropriate preparatory work to get the surfaces primed for coating. The project will be completed within 90 calendar days from the date of the Notice to Proceed, per the contract documents.

Project Details

City Utilities Staff have completed the design and production of construction documents for the project. Project documents will be available to prospective bidders by Wednesday, June 17, 2015.

Project Funding

The project will be funded from the Department of Utilities Operation and Maintenance Funds for 2015.
